Mark Hubbard was booted from the Houston Open on Friday after adding a new club to his bag on the 15th hole.
It’s not that rare to see a golfer disqualified from a PGA Tour event. But Mark Hubbard DQ’d for a violation that was as rare as it was odd.
The 33-year-old was booted from the Houston Open on Friday after adding a 15th club to his bag midway through his second round. “Mark Hubbard is a DQ after the second round of the Cadence Bank Houston Open due to a violation of Rule 4.1c,” the PGA Tour. “Hubbard knowingly added a 15th club at the turn and used the club several times without declaring it out of play.”
The rule states, “When a player becomes aware during a round that he or she is in breach of Rule 4.1b, or for having more than 14 clubs or for making a stroke with another player’s club, the player must immediately take an action that clearly indicates each club that is being taken out of play.”, Hubbard was having “spin issues” with his driver, and he believed that adding a club would only incur a two-shot penalty.
